Compassion Sunday

Because God has prepared a glorious future for His people in Christ, they can suffer a God-hating world with an enduring hope.

1. For God's people, Christian suffering is the experience of God's refining for our future joy. (1 Peter 4:12-19)
2. For God's people, Christian suffering is God binding together as His Church (1 Peter 5:1-5)
3. For God's people, Christian suffering is the pathway to God's exaltation of His Church (1 Peter 5:6-11)
